Cat-behaviourist Jackson Galaxy is back to take on some of the most
catastrophic and unruly cat cases anyone has ever encountered. Amongst the cast
of cats who are seemingly beyond help, there are two ferocious Savannah cats
belonging to skydiver Jacques, who are sending his morale into free-fall. A
Texan couple are freaking out over their pet Foley, who experiences ‘the night
terrors’; and there’s free-pooping Whiskey, who seems to have lost all sense of
toilet etiquette. Will Jackson be able affect a change in these capricious
kitties where their owners have failed?

BROKEN TAIL’S LAST JOURNEY

Premieres on Sunday, August 31 at 10:00 p.m. Encores Thursday,
September 4 at 11:00 a.m. and Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

BROKEN TAIL’S LAST JOURNEY documents the journey of life and death
of a tiger destined for greatness. Broken Tail was born in Ranthambhore
National Park in northern India, a vast, natural reserve that’s especially famous
for its Bengal tigers. Historically revered in Indian tradition, tigers in the
area were once protected by maharajahs, and then by government sanctuaries and
conservation projects. But poachers have proven to be nearly unstoppable over
the years, and tigers have struggled to survive, even with the protection of
the park. Colin Stafford-Johnson and local guide, Salim Ali, spent over 600
days following and filming Broken Tail and his family, until it one day simply
disappeared. A year later, Colin and Salim learnt that Broken Tail was killed
by a train in Darra, 100 miles away from Ranthambhore. This discovery raised
new questions. How did Broken Tail travel so far and why did he leave?
